Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 2005, 'Bleed Like Me' marked Garbage's fifth studio album and their first after a four-year hiatus following the less commercially successful 'Beautiful Garbage'. The band sought to return to their roots with a more straightforward alternative rock sound, distancing themselves from the pop-oriented direction of their previous work. This album came during a period where Garbage was striving to reclaim their prominence in the music scene.
